[PATCH RFC V10 3/7] mm/mempolicy: Export memory policy symbols

From: Shivank Garg <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-11 09:08:30
Also in: kvm, linux-coco, linux-fsdevel, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - memory policy and migration, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

KVM guest_memfd wants to implement support for NUMA policies just like
shmem already does using the shared policy infrastructure. As
guest_memfd currently resides in KVM module code, we have to export the
relevant symbols.

In the future, guest_memfd might be moved to core-mm, at which point the
symbols no longer would have to be exported. When/if that happens is
still unclear.
